WHAT: Penn Science Café, “Your Brain: An Ever-changing Network”
WHEN: Tuesday, July 14, 6-7 p.m.
WHERE: World Cafe Live Upstairs, 3025 Walnut St., Philadelphia
Each of us lives life as a node in multiple networks; our relationships with members of our family, friends, co-workers and neighbors are just a few examples. But perhaps the most complicated network we engage with in our daily lives is the network inside of our heads: the human brain. Professor Bassett will explain some of the ways this network is constantly changing and how those changes predict how well people learn new skills.
The talk is part of the Penn Science Café free public-lecture series presented by Penn Arts & Sciences and the Office of University Communications that takes science out of the lab for a night on the town. Professor Bassett’s presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A. Café events are free and open to the public. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Seating is limited.
